Creation Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon/Petit Verdot 2011

A Bordeaux-style blend in the finest tradition. Dense, blue-black in colour with gorgeous hues of violet. The sumptuous berry bouquet tempts with generous blackberry and blackcurrant aromas against a background of smoky oak. The palate is in perfect harmony: taut and richly textured with well-integrated tannins promising excellent maturation potential.
